The league ensures every team has a representative in the all-star game, but the home team usually has more.
For reference, San Jose had Pavelski, Burns and Karlsson last year. In 2018 Tampa had 4 (Kucherov, Point, Stamkos and Vasilevskiy. Nashville has 4 the year they hosted.
So, I’m wondering who are likely to be the Blues’ all stars, and how many players they’ll get.
My likely choices:
Binnington
Pietrangelo
then the next tier:
O’Reilly
Perron (based on points)
Schenn
Might deserve, but won’t go:
Parayko
Walker (just kidding)
I’m guessing as the reigning Cup champs, there is a pretty strong chance they’ll get 4 players in. For sure at least 3. I think O’Reilly probably gets the nod as #3. I remember when Perron was a rookie representative and played in that 3 on 3 event, before it was the normal OT format. It was cool. I’d love to see him get rewarded.
Anyway, thought it would be fun to have a thread to discuss this. I’d like to see Parayko there, just to be part of the hardest shot competition.
Allen’s save percentage is up to .926 after tonight’s shutout. Maybe he’ll get invited!
